The Mindful Eating Coach

Use this app to train yourself to eat mindfully.
The app has 6 features. You can use as many or as few of them as you want, whenever you need reminders to eat mindfully. The app can be your lifetime eating coach.
1. BEFORE YOU EAT: the app walks you through the steps of making a decision to eat or to NOT eat (resist an urge to eat if you aren’t really hungry). If you decide to eat, you think about what and how much will feel good afterwards and plan to stay mindful while eating so you can stop before getting overfull no matter what you decide to eat.
2.AFTER YOU EAT: the app prompts you to remember how hungry you were, why you ate and how you feel NOW about what and how much you ate. When you eat something that doesn’t feel WORTH IT, you learn from that experience so you are less likely to repeat eating something that you now wish you had NOT eaten.
3. Reflect on Your Day: As you go thru each day you will see your entries for that day listed right below on the main screen. This helps you stay on track. At the end of the day, questions prompt you to think about your day and plan for tomorrow.
4. Calendar Icon: When you tap on the calendar you can see a summary for the past month of your fullness ratings. The color on the day tells you if you are making progress (light orange) or if on this day you did well; you always stopped before you got moderately full (green).
5.REVIEW DATA: You can monitor your progress toward six different goals over the past four weeks (see Lesson 1). Note you can SEND your raw data to your own email if you want to see it or see your personal Notes. You can also SEND data to a friend, counselor or health coach if you would like more coaching or support.
6. LESSONS: 18 brief lessons are provided to give you more guidance and specific tips on using your appetite to guide eating decisions that FEEL GOOD AFTERWARDS.
